What is BLOGPROV?
Blogprov is a blogging game that combines improv with blogging and turns blogging upside-down.
In a "normal" blog, the blogger writes a story or essay, then lots of other people comment.
In BlogProv, we get the comments first. Then I write the blog - as if it had been written BEFORE the comments. The challenge is to write the blog in such a way that all the comments make sense.
Because my readers like to challenge me, it usually takes the blog in some unusual directions!
